If you're seeing numbers < $200, those are almost certainly in $/ctw which is the price per 100 lbs.

Cattle prices are listed in $/cwt ($ per 100 pounds), and most prices you find like this are the price when you want to slaughter the animal. If you're looking for something for breeding, the prices can be substantially higher.

Interesting. I would have thought at least some math would be required during the planning/design phase to ensure the design is physically stable (e.g. load calculations to ensure spans are supported well enough). Thanks for the info.

Somewhat off topic, but I was somewhat surprised that architect is a viable career for someone with an aversion to all things mathematical. Does she still need math, she just doesn't enjoy it, or does the modeling software these days

Admittedly I've not kept up with the GRE since I took it in 2004. It was computer adaptive at that point, but I found it fairly easy (and had a perfect score on the math section)

Agreed. I always assumed the GRE must have been designed to accommodate/calibrated to humanities and social science grad students (or other majors without a significant math component) more than STEM students. Almost every CS friend I

The number of vehicles and the max speed at which they're willing to travel aren't the only factors that affect throughput. As the GP mentions, bad driving habits can lead to things like the Accordion effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

IANAL, but from a practical standponit, I imagine if a WoW dealer both buys and sells WoW gold for a fiat currency, the government would want them to be equally as liable since that would also be an excellent way to launder or otherwise tra

My family is actually on a plan similar to the one you describe (high deductible and a spending account). Before I used it, it seemed fine. I tend to do alot of research regarding upcoming tests/procedures and such, and so adding in an ele

If the dvd is protected by a technical mechanism which you are circumventing in ripping it, then yes, it is unless you meet one of the LoC exemptions. In the current phase they allowed it only for disability access and for short clips for d

I would have thought the same. Perhaps the 'Amazon' that is bound under this settlement is a different corporate entity as the 'Amazon' in this case. E.g. Amazon.com vs. Amazon.co.uk

I see this confusion fairly often. Outside of the status of systems/missions etc., nominally often means something like 'in name only'. So to say it's proceeding 'nominally' to someone not familiar with its meaning in this domain sounds l

From the article you linked to: "The regulations would allow vehicles to operate autonomously, but a licensed driver would still need to sit behind the wheel to serve as a backup operator in case of emergency."

Yes, this is just for Kansas City. Given that it takes a physical build-out, I imagine 'everywhere' getting it is not in the foreseeable future.

A work need not target the original in order to be considered fair use, you have to apply test all the §107 factors. As Justice Souter put it in Campbell vs. Acuff-Rose Music[1]: "By contrast, when there is little or no risk of market subs

While you're correct that it's not a parody, parody is not the only form of fair use. From 17 USC § 107[1] "...purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or res

I'm assuming those are "miles earned" and not "miles flown". There are usually multipliers for flying first class, various promotions grant them, credit cards, etc. However, even a low percentage of that would still be a hard-to-fathom di

Can you cite a source on that? As a software engineer for a major defense contractor who works closely with other major contractors, I can say with some degree of certainty that being paid overtime is certainly not the norm, and 60 hour we
